Believe it or not, Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. dated for seven years before calling it quits for good. However, their relationship was far from smooth sailing. Parker had to navigate the complexities of being with a man who was dealing with significant challenges during that time, largely due to his struggles with addiction.

Despite their deep connection, it was a tumultuous period say the least. Parker although stood by him through many of his battles, ultimately did decide to part ways.

Hollywood’s Iron Man, aka Robert Downey Jr., earned his household name long before he became a crucial part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing the iconic role of Iron Man/Tony Stark. Downey rose to stardom with his role in Sherlock Holmes. However, his struggles with addiction were the reason for his downfall. Not only did his addiction cost him his career, but his relationship with Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker was equally turmoiled. Despite their downs, the couple still managed to find joy together.

Downey and Parker met on the set of the 1984 film, Firstborn. The former couple quickly started dating and moved in within eight weeks of their relationship. The couple dated for a few years before they separated in 1991 due to Downey’s substance addiction issues. But that doesn...

The ever-articulate and principled Peter Weller has told us a lot about ourselves in his roles as an actor and director. Learning more about this gifted storyteller and true Renaissance man can tell us even more. But Weller hasn’t been seen in a major motion picture since 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness, which ended a long silver screen hiatus. Is the man’s relative absence from the silver screen a product of demand, or might it be more down to his preference? Should his career be brought back into the mainstream spotlight like he was Murphy returning from the afterlife? Or is he busy doing different, more interesting things than being a badass in front of a camera? Let’s find out as we ask ourselves, Wtf happened to Peter Weller?

But first, let’s get a better feel for why the man has been so missed by starting at the beginning.

American poet and former U.S. Poet Laureate Louise Gluck was awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize for Literature Thursday, the world’s highest literary honor, “for her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal,” said the Nobel Committee.

She is the first American woman to win the prize since Toni Morrison in 1993 and one of only 16 women since the awards, established in the will of Alfred Nobel, began in 1901.

Nobel Committee chair Anders Olsson praised Gluck’s striving for clarity. “Glück seeks the universal, and in this she takes inspiration from myths and classical motifs, present in most of her works.”

The Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded by The Swedish Academy in Stockholm.

Mats Malm, Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy, said in a video presentation Thursday, that he had informed Gluck of the award earlier in the day. “It came as surprise. A welcome one.

Corey Feldman and Corey Haim remain linked over a decade after Haim’s death in 2010.

In Feldman’s new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, which premiered in Los Angeles on Monday, the actor, 48, alleges that his friend told him that Charlie Sheen raped Haim on set of the 1986 film Lucas. At the time Sheen was 19 and Haim was 13.

According to Entertainment Weekly, several others featured in the documentary claimed that Haim had also told them of the alleged sexual abuse, including Feldman’s ex-wife Susannah Sprague, with whom he shares son Zen, 15.

Tristan Thompson's baby boy is celebrating a big milestone!

A year ago, the NBA basketball pro, who's currently expecting a child with Khloe Kardashian, welcomed a son, Prince, with ex-girlfriend, Jordan Craig, who shared the first photo of the little guy to her Instagram on Tuesday.

"#MemoriesWithYou," the Instagram model captioned the sweet photo, rocking a swimsuit, playing in the pool with Prince.

Jordan and Tristan had split by the time their child was born. The basketball star went public with Khloé in September of 2016, and Et learned of their pregnancy a year later. Their baby is likely due sometime early next year.

Happy birthday, Prince Oliver!

Meanwhile, in a teaser Wednesday for what's still to come this season on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, it's hinted that Khloé is about ready to officially announce her pregnancy.

Kim Kardashian West and husband Kanye West are about to get a new baby and a new home!

A source close to the couple -- who are expecting their third child via surrogate -- tells Et that the 37-year-old reality star and 40-year-old rapper have moved into their $20 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California.

Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, will also not be too far from her daughter and son-in-law. According to People, the 62-year-old momager purchased a six-bedroom, eight-bath residence that cost nearly $10 million. The home includes a theater, gym and 1.28 acres of land, which is perfect to host Kris' growing family.

News of Kim and Kanye's big move comes just over a month after the power couple sold their Bel-Air mansion for $17.8 million, which set a record for the most expensive sale ever in the exclusive neighborhood.

Alex Rodriguez may be a nice guy, but the mother of his former girlfriend, Silicon Valley CEO Anne Wojcicki, said the baseball star wasn’t “intellectual” enough for her daughter.

After a night of passion, Cron disappears taking Trip's virginity with him. A few days later, Trip develops a rash on his hand that eventually blooms into a gun made from his own flesh.

If you’ve ever daydreamed about what Jared Leto’s bedroom would look like, here’s your answer.

“It’s fancy,” Leto, 45, tells the WSJ. Magazine of his master suite that features small windows, a love seat and a mattress on the floor. “When it comes down to it, you don’t need very much.”

The 10,000-square-foot Laurel Canyon compound, which was once an Air Force station, has been the actor’s home since 2015. In addition to its “glorified walk-in closet” of a bedroom, Leto’s pad also comes with 4-foot-thick concrete blast walls, a nuclear fallout shelter and an air-traffic-control tower.

The twenty first entry in an on-going series of audiovisual essays by Cristina Álvarez López and Adrian Martin. Mubi will be showing Chantal Akerman's Tomorrow We Move (2004) from March 8 - April 7, 2017 in most countries around the world. Tomorrow We Move (2004) is Chantal Akerman’s most underrated film. A recent, ambiguous “tribute” to the director in Cineaste magazine dismissed most of her work in fiction filmmaking beyond the 1970s, and was especially down on those fictions involving music, comedy, love, passion, and obsession. So, into the bin go Night and Day (unmentioned in the article), Golden Eighties (“dated and silly”), La Captive (“elephantine, imitative, and strangely fake”), and Almayer’s Folly (sunk by that “terrible French actor Stanislas Merhar”).

Minor sarcasm aside, it's hard not to be at least a little proud of Barry.

Sarah Jessica Parker and her ex-boyfriend Robert Downey Jr. will be seated next to each other at the People's Choice Awards on Wednesday night. Us Weekly obtained a photo of the seating chart, which shows the former Divorce star and Iron Man himself (who are both nominated) arranged just one seat apart; the chair between them will likely be filled by either Sarah Jessica's husband, Matthew Broderick, or Robert's wife, Susan. The pair famously began dating in 1984 after meeting on the set of Firstborn, and their breakup in 1991 was due in large part to Robert's drug problem. Despite the potential awkwardness of the seating arrangement, things will surely be Ok; in an interview with Howard Stern in 2015, Robert revealed that he and Sarah Jessica had a friendly reunion in NYC and put their past issues to bed.
